I adore these 'skull and cross bones' taps; they're perfect both for kids who want to play pirate in the bathtub, as well as for adults who appreciate their awesome style.

The [skull taps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kohler-billet) come from a London shop owned by designer Stephen Inhorn which also creates *the best* [breakable packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins) in the world.

The [pirates taps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-containers) are not cheap, they start at around £200, but what price can you put on stylish and totally non-tacky awesomeness like this?
